Just a heads-up for anyone interested ... cost of $50 for non-members I believe.

Advanced notice of cycle planning workshop to be held jointly with AITPM & IPWEA. Thursday 5th September – 2.00 to 5.00 pmPlease register at: Eventbrite registration pageHosted by: The Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia832 Wellington Street, West Perth WA 6005

Objective of the workshop

The objective of the workshop is to bring together transport planners and project managers at the state and local government level to consider a plan to increase the mode share of cycling across Perth from its current level of less than 2% to 6% by 2031. Specifically the workshop would consider:

* Interim target of doubling cycling by 2021* How can we plan, implement and achieve the target of a 6% modal share* The need for sub-regional plans (larger LGs or groupings of smaller LGs) to develop the bicycle network at a finer grain than the PBN* A 5 year and 10 year implementation plan to commence development of a connected safe network, consideration of policy initiatives, design guidelines and travel plans

Annual National Conference 2013 - PerthThis peak event on the AITPM calendar provides our Gold Sponsors with Prime Sponsorship Status and National Sponsors with joint major co-sponsor status at this important meeting in the traffic and transport sector.

Hopefully the WA traffic planners would have got some ideas from the Annual conference, and will be ready for action for the cycling planning workshop in September.

But, then again, there is politics, as this came out of the Annual conference:Stand-off stalls freeway traffic trialNot cycle related, but does question why we are spending $m's on widening freeways when alternatives may currently exist and being used worldwide. In WA we then debate the merits and who is going to pay for it. WA - wait awhile
